Replacing H4 Bulbs

[david173]

No the H4 bulb is only for the dip/main beam

The DRL is a H11 I believe. You can swap this bulb to LED but to be honest its only for aesthetics as DRL's don't add anything significant to the light output at night.

Upgrading the main/dip H4 bulb will make a small difference but don't expect miracles!

H4 headlight upgrade.. but to what?

My apologies for starting yet another thread on the subject of replacing H4 candles on a T6 with something fit for purpose. I have read the other long threads, which have been 'illuminating', but as a non-tekkie, I find the detail very confusing, and I would like to try to distill the wisdom...

H4 To H7 Upgrade

Replaced my standard H4 headlights on my 17 plate kombi highline with genuine H7 headlights from a 17 plate Caravelle. It's literally just plug and play, no warning lights, no VCDS, just swap and go. Does require removing the front bumper but really not as bad as it sounds. IMO the H7's are...

I put some H4 Philips Racingvision 200% bulbs in my father in laws Focus and he seems to be quite pleased with the result compared to the oem bulbs he had before, they're still rubbish but slightly less rubbish I guess

Yeah for now slightly less rubbish is what I’m looking for I think!

Hopefully is a quick answer -is this correct seating for H4 headlight bulb? It feels like the groove should be dead centre at the bottom in line with the guard arm but they look like are at an angle? Both are same. Thanks.

hopefully this youtube link works, if not type in "headlight buld change" in the search and, i think, the 3rd or 4th one down has the chat with the video.

sorry on not great on these chat thingys.

Replaced mine myself as did not want to use a garage in case needed to do whilst away.

Great video to understand what goes where and which way to push things when working blind.

Did not remove anything and job done in half an hour including re-watching video to keep checking.

Bit fiddly but not too bad.
